diablo1971 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 When I installed FO3 I downloaded 1.7, on installing the patch the red bars come up and when the overall bar reaches 100% a DOS cmd.exe window opens and FO3 starts but there is nothing to suggest the patch has been applied, I've left it in this state for several minutes and still nothing, when I quit FO3 the patching window is still there and if I check it on task manager it say that the patch program is not responding. Has the patch worked? Is there something I'm missing about these patches like you have to leave them for a certain length of time to install? Or are the patches probably corrupted? Would a full reinstall of FO3 be the best solution? By the way FO3 works glitch free after all the above concerns I can still play, I also have FOMM and FOSE, both latest versions, does this suggest that the patching has worked? I never had these patching concerns with Oblivion, what's the problem with FO3. Thanks for any feedback you can provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo1971 Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 it appears that my concerns were unfounded as I received my copy of broken steel/point lookout today and I just installed it straight away and everything works, so the patching as mentioned above did work it just didn't install as other games patches do like giving you and message about the patch being installed.
